Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a captivating journey through our solar system, exploring the fascinating array of celestial bodies that dance around our Sun. The author delves into the history of scientific thought on the solar system, revealing how our understanding of comets, meteors, and shooting stars has evolved from objects of mystery to integral components of our cosmic neighbourhood. The author masterfully weaves together scientific observation and theoretical explanation, exploring the dynamics of planetary orbits, the phenomenon of tidal action, and the impact of size and mass on the evolution of planets. We learn how the planets are not merely inert objects in space, but rather dynamic systems shaped by forces such as gravity and friction, with each planet embodying a unique stage in its life cycle. The author skillfully guides the reader to appreciate the interconnectedness of our solar system, demonstrating how the orbits of comets and meteor streams are directly linked to the gravitational influence of planets. Ultimately, this book presents a compelling picture of the solar system as a complex and interconnected entity, forever in motion.
